Where: CRH Testaccio, Piazza di Santa Maria Liberatrice, 46 – 00154 Rome.
When: December 2020 – February 2021.

This exhibit, in an interdisciplinary approach, attempts to bring different worlds together by involving both literature and the visual arts. Cristina Pennacchi’s works represent, in a visual format, some of the works of authors who have unequivocally linked their narrative style and the traits of their characters to specific geographical locations and identies. By doing so, the visitor, in an imaginary journey from East to West, is led
ithrough territories that the artist percieves as theaters of activity. These theaters of activity, crystallized in images, are thus shaped and defined in order to create a tapestry of connections and meanings.
Starting with the geography, the artist, through the words of the stories, leads us to the pictorial image, to the internal emotions derived from the visual representations of the phrases within a geographical context and ultimately to a completely personal and imagined
representation. The literary journey takes place in the 20th century. Citing authors of the past ranging from Lu Xun to Guimaraes Rosa or from Tolstoy to Faulkner, and thus passing from China to Brazil or from Russia to the United States, the focus is on great literature by photographing it in the world in which it was created. By comparing the literature with the images, it would seem to be an attempt to create an ideal dialogue which overcomes spatial and temporal confines in which art, in all of its various forms, is confirmed as the protagonist.

A happening to celebrate the book signed by roman photographer Matteo Casilli, dedicated to the visual narration of Italian music, expressed through black and white portraits of the artists involved. An alternative representation: intimate, introspective, deep, the looks of the artists captured by Casilli reveal every emotion in its naturalness.

This composition of shots, turned into a real installation, will be the set for the upcoming “Secret Shows” in which the musicians of the Italian indie, rock and pop scene will perform.

The new project will start in September 2018, proposing a series of events at ContestaRockHair’s Salons in Rome and Florence where the fusion between art and music will take place.

The MUSICIAN project is sponsored by NASTRO AZZURRO, the well-known premium Italian beer.

ContestaRockHair salon in TESTACCIO – Rome, is going to present “INSIEMI VUOTI“, exhibition project by PAOLO IPPOLITO [AnotherStudio].

INSIEMI VUOTI | CONCEPT

In mathematics, an empty set is that specific set that contains no elements. The saturation of wide open landscapes, of commonly overcrowded clusters, the lines, the traffic, the voices of the people who become the musical background, the soundtrack of our days. The unrest, maybe extreme, sometimes flow into a mass hysteria shackin’ up with a December’s cold. An easy reading framework by everyone. Empty sets is a search about places, lonely landscapes, absence and silence.

It’ s a necessity, a need to select, to choose portions of scenarios usually empty at poles apart. An objective look at architectures, at lines that create abstract landscapes, at bright colors underline the surreal character. It’s a work in progress, it’s not referring to any city, to any historical moments, to any time of the day or night. Estrangement and alienation at the same time. The silence is his main theme.  [ www.paoloippolito.com ]
